To your point tho', Uline, Amazon, et.al. know the entire geographic location hits a major distribution sweet spot. There are many built-in advantages other than those offered by state and local government.
Plus, many residents living between Milwaukee and the Illinois state line remember the huge impact American Motors had on family, friends, and neighbors. AMC, then Chrysler, workers had stand-on-your-feet jobs with good pay, good benefits, and good retirement.
